The thenar region was studied with ultrasonography in 10 healthy volunteers. All thenar muscles could be identified and their course followed entirely. In addition, their function could be assessed by scanning during unresisted or resisted active movements. Standard approach, normal appearance, and dynamic tests for each muscle are described.
